The Vanwall wasn't an ugly Duckling! The Marcos is a joy to drive, although a little cramped for me.
The Lambretta is very special, and not easy to ride, you need to be small and agile. It needs a tow start due to extremely high gearing, its only 125cc but also ran a supercharger and hit 124.9 mph in 1951. most of the engine and transmission are bespoke, it has just been recommissioned less blower and with modified gearing for demo runs. There is also a new replica being built with a 'modern' Lambretta engine to try and replicate/beat that old land speed record. I believe this is the first time its left Italy.
